CHARLESTON, W. VA, February H.
Senator Morris, Of the Richie Gazette, il
placing General Duyal in nomination to
day, made the following speech:
"MR. PREsIDENT-The time has arrived
when l consider it proper to refer to Ger,
tain matters which concern this joint as
sembly and the people generally of the
State alike. The great wind has passed
by, the earthquake has ceased to disturb,
but hope that what shall say in my
humble capacity contains the still small
voice of truth. Without claiming to rep
resent any caucus or any one but myself,
| again place in nomination for the position
of United States Senator General /. III.
DuVal. In connection with such nomina-
tion desire to say some things which
deem pertinent on this occasion. Mr..
President, strange thing occur in the ex'
perience of US all. At times past when i
have struck at the powerful rings
within the Democratic party Of this State
have felt a responsive tremor in my own
party. The great anaconda of monopoly
does not begin and end in the Democratic
party of West Virginia He who assails it
from the Republican ranks will feel its
dreadful folds tighten about him even
though he strikes at its head in the midst
of Democracy. There are things that
wind in and wind out till you cannot tell
whether the serpent that makes the track
is going south or coming back In this
discussion | expect to say some things
Which
WILL HURT THE FEELINGS OF SOME
persons, and it does not make the slightest
difference to me whether or not these per-
sons are members of the Republican party
My apology for saying what | shall say is
that tremendous interest is taken in the
matter at issue here by the people OF the
State.
Owing to the fact that misrepresenta-
tions have gone abroad, the great throb-
bing heart of the people is aroused rs 1t
never has been before since the war. Owing
to certain publications made in the press
yesterday, wave of electricity mas swept
down on this devoted city in the shape OF
telegrams. shall read one as q specimen
of the sentiment Of the people everywhere:
'PARKERsBURG, WA, Feb. IL, 1887.
SeAators Norris, DdtrsOn and Bond:
The Republican masses approve the
past course of the Republican caucus, and
bitterly denounce the report that Republi-
cans will vote for any Democrat. Such a
course marks the downfall of all Republi-
eau hopes, for a split in the party is inev-
liable The Republican party in the
future will honor those men who honor her
in the crisis.
(Signed) A. B. WHITE
''Sir, ] shall not refer to these matters
because deem them worthy of notice rs
mere newspaper articles, but because the
people in the State are deceived by the
reports of the situation here, and so that
the truth may 90 forth to the world.
REFEREED To OUR NEIGHBOR.
81 ask, is the Republican press of the
State, or part OF it, purchased? can only
say that the statementiu leading Repub-
hcan daily of this State of yesterday con-
cerning the position and the part to be
played By Republicans on the floor of the
assembly are either ineXcuSably weak or
prompted by grossly corrupt motives, and
strange to say the course that Republicans
here intend never to pursue is commended
editOrially as the course to he pursued.
The Republicans are going to help Mr.
Camden out, aud the great, enterprising
newspaper soul seems glad of it. The
Republican caucus is about to let down
the bars and in the place
where least expected the demoralizing
idea seems to convey happiness now and
Joy forever Before proceeding to sweep
away this delightful structure, desire to
include in this denunciatiOn Republicans
high in the counsels of the party in the
State. A few of them; they are the spoil
ers, who is the victim? All, tell it not IN
AskelOn and whispered it not IN Gath.
Perhaps we all know, perhaps we do not.
want to say here, and do say it now,
that in my opinion the worst case OF
OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
TENSEs
ever known is exhibited here. Here, too,
is all the trouble in this connection. These
people put their foul mouths to the ears OF
Republican members of the Legislature,
and because these members simply turn
aside and hold a hand over their ears
and pray to be temporarily struck deal
instead of knocking down these work
ers of corruption they so to their
master whoever he may be and report that
all things are safe. The Republicans are
coming over to the rescue OF the nominee
of the Democratic caucus, the bars are to
be let down and they are to demand the
cash earned by the sweat of their tongues.
Then the owner of these detestable crea-
tnres is overcome with pure and unalloyed
peace and gratitude and forth to this world
gives the tidings Of how Republicans are
coming to the rescue of King Caucus OF
Democratic genealOgy and modern birth.
HARD WORDS.
'T repeat, what q case OF obtaining
money under false pretenses! All, gentle
men, your Shiny tracks are not concealed
as YOU think they are. Your methods are
known, and we whom you have not ap-
preached are iu the possession of your Sc
crets. Get you hence, for your ayocatlon
is gone and your day is past
''Now, Sir, let Us look at the Republl-
cans and Greenbackers of this assembly, as
a whole, united in single purpose. For
more than two weeks they have marched
forward with q solid front. Are they go
ing to turn back after having thus far
made this wearisOme march? There Is
legend that in lofty tower somewhere
picture or vision of an angel glorided and
beautiful, sweet and holy, hahgs forever.
At only one time in the day when the sun
shines through window upon 1t, can 1t
be seen, and be who can have the happl-
ness TO behold it is considered favored
